Dating in Visakhapatnam: first dates and weekend trips
Updated · by the SwipeTrip team
Vizag is a port city where the hills of the Eastern Ghats come right down to the Bay of Bengal, so most dates have a sea view. Beach Road runs for kilometres past promenades and museums, and the coffee plantations of the Araku Valley are a scenic train ride away.
First date ideas in Visakhapatnam
RK Beach
Beach Road
The city's main beach and promenade, busy every evening. Walk the sea front and stop at the stalls for corn and chai.
INS Kursura Submarine Museum
Beach Road
A real decommissioned submarine on the beach that you can walk through. Unusual and easy to talk about.
Kailasagiri
Beach Road
A hilltop park reached by road or ropeway, with views over the coast. Go for sunset.
Rushikonda Beach
Rushikonda
A golden beach north of the city, cleaner and calmer than RK Beach, for a longer afternoon by the sea.
Tenneti Park
Beach Road
A clifftop park looking over the bay, quieter than the main beach and pleasant in the evening.
Yarada Beach and Dolphin's Nose
Yarada
A sheltered cove beyond the port, with the lighthouse on Dolphin's Nose above it. Go in daylight.

First-date tips for Vizag
- Stick to the promenade: Beach Road is lit and busy in the evening. The sea here has strong currents, so enjoy it from the sand.
- Plan the hills for winter: Araku and Lambasingi are at their best from November to January, when the mornings are cool and misty.
- Watch the cyclone season: October and November can bring storms to the coast. Check the forecast before a beach day or a trip.
- Seafood is the local language: A fish or prawn meal is the classic Vizag dinner; ask about spice if you're not used to Andhra heat.
